Yeah, I keep going back to the cartoon above.
With ~20 employees working on the system, each clicking the button dozens of times a day, the ROI makes it well-worth at least a few weeks of my time to avoid that extra click, and updating the navigation even the way I do is MUCH less work than that (maybe an hour or two a year). I'd much rather than than a card or other pop-up solution that requires extra clicking or hidden navigation that's going to distract the teachers from their actual jobs.
